Excel Experience

I learned a lot from our unit on Microsoft Excel! Probably the most important thing that I learned was that instead of repeating the same formula over and over again for a function, you can simply drag down on the box of the formula you wish to duplicate to obtain the same results. I also learned about absolute and relative cell references. Excel might be useful for me in the future in that is makes it easier to keep a running budget of my expenses.

Academically, Microsoft Excel is very useful for keeping up with your grades. With conditional formatting on Excel, it is easy to format the cells to make things such as failing grades for noticeable. Excel can be used in business for recording a budget, so that a business can see if their profit outweighs their expenditures.
